There are rumours running around about who will lose their jobs and who will get to retain them, usually it is those who want to stay who are being told they are likely to go- though IT company Capita itself has not made any formal announcement itself.Capita has confirmed the cuts are part of the Unity Program which includes outsourcing jobs to Pune in India.
